To make my theory work, you just have to be aware of human nature when you verbally throw a grenade into a crowd.

That's where your theory falls apart. As your friends here on the forum will tell you, repubs aren't that smart.

Romney saying what he actually believes in? That's funny, Whell.

OK, then. What objective do you think he had with this appearance?

For every James Carville, there is a brilliant Republican strategist even if the candidate sucks: that's where things like Swift Boating comes from...

Au contraire. Republican spinmeisters and operators are experts at their craft, much better than their Democratic counterparts. How else could they hoodwink so many to vote against their own personal interests?

Or maybe it is that their base truly is that dumb. Hmmm.

How about not having an ulterior motive, other than to make his case? What have the Dems done for African American's lately, other than to take their vote for granted?

To your first point - the how did Obama get elected in 2008?

To your second point - maybe. I guess that's how Obama got elected.

Hah! That's an easy one whell. At least blacks know that the Democrats have their back and have since before LBJ. When did the Repubs do anything at all for minorities (since the 1860s)? Where was any astonishment on Mitts face when he told the NAACP that he was their guy? Looked like a possum with a face full of pumpkin seeds grinning that signature smarmy grin. I was half expecting to see that asshole whip out a roll of $100s and ask if any one present wanted to sell their votes.
Why is it with Repubs it's always what have you done for me lately? Sounds like the true graft and corruption party...Just follow the money Whell.

You don't make your case by purposefully lobbing oral ordinance.

By being a markedly superior candidate compared to a guy I would have happily voted for in 2000 before he sold out.

I have one word for ya fuzzy - Sarah Palin (oops, two words) The idea that she could be President should McCain start drooling down the front of his bib scared the shit out of just about everyone. I'll bet that even a minority of Repubs jumped ship or simply stayed home when it came right down to it....
